Updated 2025 NFL draft order after Week 18

The Houston Texans are headed to the postseason, but 18 other teams are headed toward the offseason.

That means that draft talk is only about to start heating up.

With the 2024 NFL regular season in the books, the top of the 2025 NFL draft order — featuring non-playoff teams (picks 1-18) — has been finalized.

A shakeup at the top of the draft order over the past two weeks changed everything heading into April. Much like last week with a New York Giants win over the Indianapolis Colts, the team holding the No. 1 pick won a game and forfeited its top selection.

The New England Patriots dropped three spots after defeating the Buffalo Bills, who were resting starters, in Week 18.

Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans are now on the clock following a nine-point loss to Houston while donning the Oilers uniforms.

Here’s an updated look at the 2025 NFL draft order following Week 18 action, courtesy of the folks at Tankathon:
